The magnetosheaths of the outer planets
This paper provides a review of past work on the magnetosheaths of the outer planets and also provides the most complete look to date at the plasma parameters in these magnetosheaths. We (nd that proton distributions in the magnetosheaths of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune (but not Uranus) are well represented by two Maxwellians with the same velocity but di/erent temperatures. The hot proton comp...
متن کامل4.2.4 Planets of the outer Solar System
The planets of the outer Solar System are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The former two are the giant planets, the latter two are also known as sub-giants. The planets are significantly more massive (compare Table 1 of Section 4.2.2.2) than the terrestrial planets and have considerably larger radii. Their mean densities are much smaller, between roughly 690 kg/m (Saturn) and 1640 kg/m (Ne...
متن کاملAtmospheric dynamics of the outer planets.
Despite major differences in the solar and internal energy inputs, the atmospheres of the four Jovian planets all exhibit latitudinal banding and high-speed jet streams. Neptune and Saturn are the windiest planets, Jupiter is the most active, and Uranus is a tipped-over version of the others. Large oval storm systems exhibit complicated time-dependent behavior that can be simulated in numerical...
متن کاملThe meteorology of monsoons
Monsoon circulations are major features of the tropical atmosphere, which, primarily through the rainfall associated with them, are of profound importance to a large fraction of the world’s population. While there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes a monsoon, there are some criteria that are widely accepted (see, e.g., the discussions in Ramage (1971), Webster (1987), and...
متن کاملThe Morphogenesis of Bands and Zonal Winds in the Atmospheres on the Giant Outer Planets
The atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were modeled as shallow layers of turbulent fluid overlying a smooth, spherical interior. With only the observed values of radius, rotation rate, average wind velocity, and mean layer thickness as model parameters, bands and jets spontaneously emerged from random initial conditions. The number, width, and amplitude of the jets, as well as ...
